I did not know it was a triology. What I saw was one movie, which resembled the plot I already had seen in the remake, The Departed. Was the triology re-cut to make the movie? and did any scenes get removed? BTW the departed was one of my favorite movies, but mainly because of the brilliant plot. When I found out it was originally HK-made, I had to see IA and it was even better. Cool that Hollywood would take a HK movie seriously enough to make a remake though..

the Departed's scope is basically the first movie of the IA trilogy.. I think the second one was a sort of prequel and the third was a different perspective of the first / a sequel, but it's been a while .. you'd have to buy it imported from Amazon or something. (worthit, IMO)

Is it some kind of trailer or just scenes from the movie put together? Love the music, of course, since I'm a Don Giovanni big fan!

[rufuswu]

not really a trailer - although you can sort of figure out the general plot? might be confusing if you haven't seen either version of the movies. glad you liked the music! I tried to pick a fitting piece :P

Infernal affairs is absolutely superior to The Departed. It has a perfect atmosphere, it has better actors, it has no dumb Hollyweird love triangle. The Departed is just a bastardization of IA with a lot of curse words. Apparently, that is all it takes to get an Academy Award, just take a great film, ruin it and add a lot of obscenities and get Jack Nicholson to play Jack Nicholson.

Finally,無間道 is the best!

@nickgen123 whoa.. I didn't know that. Thank for telling me ;)

[nickgen123]

@Burlak4 it's called a trilogy, not a triology, just so you know.

IA is the best. Departed suck.

My Vote is for Infernal Affairs,. I saw it first and loved it, Tony and Andy are huge actors in China. The actors did a better job, the plots better. Infernal Affairs 2 though is one of the best mafia/triad films ever.

Wow nice lie, Martin Scorsese knew he was making a remake of infernal affairs he got the rights and everything to do it he wouldnt be aloud to copy a movie and just say its his, he never!!! said that he didnt see infernal affairs he addmitted to watching it around 5 times, he would have too, to get everything the same. And you're right hollywood does make alot of shit movies. Im not saying Infernal Affairs is bad im just saying i like the departed more people just started swearing at me.

[MsCelesteLee]

i guess you are one of those idiots that live in your own world.

i bet you don't even know where china is :)

I have seen both and saw the departed first but infernal affairs shits on the Hollywood shit cant even make his own material the directer claims he had never seen infernal affairs even tho scenes are exactly the same. if you new anything about film you would understand infernal is better by far... and dont look down on asians racist &*^$. and have u seen the shit Hollywood makes these days they aren't even movies idiotic movies made for idiots

ppl say these things wen they can't make comebacks.. maybe u should rli grow up . but ur rite i have wasted lots of my time. plus ur wrong i wasn't trying to insult u . ur just insulting urself with that narrow mind of yours.

[TheRocknRollfreak]

go fuck yourself your a waste of time, maybe you should do something instead of sit on the computer and try and insult people

[playlist110229]

from that outburst i have tell u have some problems. The departed is so much better! are u happy now? how pathetic can u be..and i never said that IA actors were better, just show some damn respect, if there wasn't Infernal Affairs there wouldn't be The Departed. u dont have to give a fuck about what anyone thinks in your life, lets c how far that will get u in life. be happy living like that.
